Reading Data from <TEXTAREA>

I hope this question is posted in the correct forum. If not - please relocate it for me. Thanx.

Question:

I am creating a "Feedback" page on a web site using ASP. Once the form is submited, I am generating an email using the CDONTS object.

My problem concerns the data captured (actual comments) in a <TEXTAREA> tag on the input form.

When the visitor seperates this data (comment) into paragraphs with the carriage return for example, the resultant value from the Request(textarea_name) is unformated and the paragraphs all run into one another.

Can this be resolved?

Many Thanx
